Qantas First Lounge in Singapore

[kermatu]

Most discussion to date has been on this thread: New Qantas SIN F Lounge [Open Dec 2nd 2019]

Includes suggestion that menu will change every 3 months but may not be significant variation.

We will be in the TPR with SQ on Friday.
There is no chance we would go on a 737 to get to Singapore out of Perth.

Tea Smoked Duck with pickled cabbage and Chinese mustard.

The duck was divine on its own very discretely flavored presence. The mustard was "kick cough", so used to accompany the cabbage. All brilliant!



Grilled Barramundi with charred lettuce, croutons and caper, anchovy and parsley butter.

It was Ok, leaving a nice flavour. Charred lettuce was interesting. There was some ordinary vinegary cabbage that I left.



Stir fried black pepper beef with onion red capsicum and jasmine rice.

Rice was perfect. The beef somewhat tender, It had a peppery "asian" flavour - all the normal stuff with a pepper overtone. I liked it even if in the end somewhat salty.



Cheese ain't on the menu - but can be had on request. Small portions but really good!

Lounge closing until further notice

Is it immediate close, or from 20 April when the flight changes kick in?

From the wording on the newsroom I would say 20th.

“The suspension of the A380 and First Class from Singapore routes will see the Qantas First Lounge in Singapore close temporarily, with customers instead invited to use the adjacent Qantas Business Lounge.”

I think QF must have a different understanding of what the word adjacent means.

I think QF must have a different understanding of what the word adjacent means.

I was just thinking that... they are perhaps using the same definition of 'adjacent to' that a panicked public considers when hearing of a COVID-19 case >20km away

Last night I paced the distance between the base of the escalators that lead up to the Business and First lounges respectively. It is at least 200 metres.

I visited last night prior to QF36 and was disappointed to hear when I got back to Australia but understandable considering how air travel is bleeding globally but particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.

I got there at 4pm and it was quiet but got 80% full by 6pm; but last time I went there it was so crowded I ended up walking in the terminal.

I arrived 7pm for QF38 and it had emptied out significantly. I did note that at least 4 QF flights back to Oz departed from concourse D.

[ChrisMars]

I read somewher it reopens the day before QF1 QF2 resume its stop via Singapore, which is 19 June.

Is this third year lucky? However many attempts it is, it is time to look forward to getting back into some lounges 'just because'. So here goes nothing. 😎 Presenting the return to the skies SIN OW lounge crawl! In an effort to keep it simple, I am not planning a KUL component. The only...

Any reviews from anyone here on the lounge now that it has reopened?

Milelion have a review up, which includes the new menu: Inside look: The reopened Qantas First Lounge Singapore - The MileLion

The Singapore First menu is looking much more interesting than the Sydney one, with better champagne options to boot.

Off topic, but Qatar's lounge opened last week. Was the only guest there from 730-830pm last night prior to my QF82 flight. Excellent attentive service, love the decor, and love the a la carte menu with a coughtail bar (https://www.qatarairways.com/content/dam/hia/pdf/qr-singapore-lounge-en.pdf). Not sure how busy it gets given it's a much smaller place, but would much prefer this over the Qantas J lounge (for those without F access)
